For a richer flavor, try using full-fat Greek yogurt instead of low-fat yogurt. Fresh tarragon can be used in place of dried tarragon. Use approximately 1 tablespoon of fresh tarragon for every 1.5 teaspoons of dried tarragon. Add a touch of lemon juice or Dijon mustard to the dressing for an extra layer of flavor. This salad is delicious served on croissants, lettuce cups, or with crackers.
